UK’s defence minister Gavin Williamson has accused Russia of “trying to goad the West into a new arms race” that it does not want and called on Moscow to reset its relationship with Western countries through dialogue.
In his speech to the conference, British Defense Minister Gavin Williamson said the U.K. will remain committed to Europe\'s security after Brexit. “Our commitment to European security remains steadfast,” he said. “We will continue to deliver it long it long after we leave the EU.”
Addressing the annual Munich Security Conference for the first time, British Defence Minister Gavin Williamson struck a bellicose tone in comments on Russia’s security posture before extending the offer of “a different kind of relationship”.
“Russian adventurism must have a cost,” Williamson told the conference. “An old adversary is very much back in the game.”
He accused Moscow of “recklessness” over the Salisbury chemical attack and other incidents and said Russia is “trying to goad the West into a new arms race.”
“NATO matters more today, because an old adversary is very much back in the game,” he said, adding Moscow was “trying to goad the West into a new arms race it simply is not interested in and does not want, making the world a less safe place.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will have a chance to respond on Saturday when he is expected to address the conference.
